Shiremoor Tyne and Wear Map

About Shiremoor

Shiremoor, a village cradled in the North Tyneside district, carries the quiet dignity of a place content in its own being. It lies 3.7 km west of Whitley Bay (from Whitley Bay: bearing 262°T, OS grid NZ 317 718), and is situated south-south-west of Earsdon village. The land around Shiremoor, once open to the windswept sky, now bears the gentle imprint of habitation, its fields often catching the soft, diffused light characteristic of the North East coast. Though its industrial past, particularly in coal mining, is a significant thread in its narrative, Shiremoor today presents a face of settled residential life, its streets lined with homes that have witnessed generations come and go. A sense of enduring community can be felt in the local shops and the public spaces, places where the everyday concerns of life unfold with a certain understated grace. The proximity to the coast, though not immediate, lends a subtle freshness to the air, a reminder of the wider world that lies just beyond the local horizon.
